Infant CPR kits donated

In partnership with the American Heart Association, The Spieker Company provided funding for 100 Infant CPR Anytime® kits to new parents in the NICU Lounge of ProMedica Toledo Hospital on Friday, Aug. 26.

The American Heart Association’s Infant CPR Anytime personal learning program offers an easy and effective training tool for new parents and anyone caring for an infant. The kit teaches the core skills of infant CPR and choking relief and contains everything needed to learn basic CPR. This kit is also used in hospital NICU and PICU programs to teach skills to new parents, while allowing nursing staff to focus on patient care.

Choking is the number-one cause of unintentional death in infants. This type of tragedy can be prevented when parents and caretakers learn the skills of CPR and choking relief.

For more info about learning CPR, contact the ProMedica CPR Rescue Training Center at 419-291- 3053 or visit promedica.org.

President/CEO named

Unison Behavioral Health Group named Jeff DeLay as President/CEO of the organization, which provides integrated mental health and substance abuse needs to adults, children and adolescents.

“Jeff brings over 31 years of business and health care experience to Unison,” said Bill Logie, president of the Unison Board of Directors. “His commitment to the behavioral health consumer and high standards of care mirror those that Unison has become known for in our community.”

Before joining Unison, DeLay was the Chief Operating Officer at Detroit Wayne Mental Health Authority in Detroit. DeLay is also an active member of the reserves and holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. He was deployed to Iraq from 2010 to 2011. He earned a master’s of business administration and a bachelor of science in nursing from the University of Michigan.

“Our agenda is to find ways to maintain and even raise our standards,” he said. “Whether it is through the physical appearance of our building, engaging with our community to partner with others, creating new programs to deal with addiction, or simply providing hope for someone who walks through our doors, everyone who comes to Unison, regardless of their situation or behavioral health need, can be assured that they will receive the same high standard of care.”

Sharky, an elderly orange and white house cat that went missing in July, was found miles from its home after an article and a photo of the feline was featured on the front page of the Aug. 15 edition of The Press.

Keri Drain, of Millbury, said the 10-year-old cat had slipped away on the morning of July 22 when she opened the door to go to work.

Hopes started to fade that he would return after she distributed fliers in the area without any luck.

Oregon City Council recently approved a grant application to the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments (TMACOG) for funding from the Transportation Alternatives Program for the Oregon Bikeway Preservation Project.

The project consists of rehabilitating and preserving the existing asphalt pavement of the main bikeway system in the city. Plans call for rehabilitating approximately 5.9 miles of separated bike paths. Various pavement rehabilitation techniques will be used to improve and preserve the existing asphalt surface to help prevent the need for more costly major rehabilitation in the future.

“TMACOG is looking for `shovel ready’ projects,” said Public Service Director Paul Roman, “to actually fill a gap in the Fiscal Year 2018 program next year.”

Veteran New York City Firefighter Matt Long will be one of the featured speakers at the Official Dedication of the Public Safety Service Memorial on Sept. 11 in Williams Park in the Village of Gibsonburg.

Long was a firefighter with East Harlem’s Ladder Company 43 on the morning of Sept 11, 2001 when his company responded to the World Trade Center. Upon their arrival, their Lieutenant huddled the company together not far from the towers to make sure they all knew what the plan would be on that morning. Those few minutes of instruction likely saved their lives as the first tower collapsed as Matt Long and his fellow firefighters were running towards it.

After the village gets though the transition to an interim police chief, Walbridge Mayor Ed Kolanko expects the search process for a replacement for Chief Ken Frost to start.

A meeting of village council’s committee-of-the-whole was scheduled for this past Thursday to discuss Frost’s resignation.

The mayor said he will appoint officer Walt Tylicki as interim chief.

“I want to help answer any questions that council may have. I’ve already talked with them but I want to get everybody together in a group and make sure we’re all on the same page,” Mayor Kolanko said before the meeting. “This is a good opportunity for Ken. I’m happy for him. With his background and his education and talents, to go serve a larger agency is a total benefit.
